AD: As usual, I'm gonna reply to my wonderful reviewers first, once again
thanks for reviewing! ^-^
Purra: I know, disobedient muses are just sooo annoying, but why is it that the disobedient ones are always the best?
Raven: We're the best?
AD: *mutters* damn it, now I'm gonna have to put up with their god damned inflated ego's again. *normal* Oh and Purra, you'll be really really dead if you put his dranzer in the toaster...
Raine: You're welcome, and if he's disobedient any more I'll be sure to send him over, *says loudly so that he can hear* Do you hear that Heero! *returns to reviewer* Thanks, but I'd have to thank the little winged thing that I for a brief amount of time called a muse. ^-^
Heero: *mutters* At least that's what she keeps telling herself.
AD: DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO COMMENT!!!!
Rays Kitten(beyblade_ice_queen): Thanks for offering to be a muse, it was really sweet, and unfortunately at the moment I can't add you into the story as Ray's girlfriend, cause I'm mainly focusing on the relationship between Kai and Serena. I'm really sorry...
Angel Slayer: I'm updating! I'm updating!
Rei Aianamy: *snickers* Heero, Kai, this lovely reviewer would like to borrow you to do her homework, since I don't have any more homework since tomorrows the last day of school, I'm sure that if you act up any more I could send you to her... And thanks! I'm updating as soon as I can, but I have to think of what I'm going to put in next before I can post it..
OT puff: Thanks, and I really don't know at this point, if I did put in lemon, it would depend mainly on what the other people who read this want, and how this turns out, even I don't know if they're going to turn out together yet...
AD: And that's all of the reviewers, although if I missed out anyone by accident, I'm really sorry... Anyway, now Kai's going to say the disclaimer.
Kai: *in a forced voice* she doesn't own anything, except the silver bladers.
Chapter Four : Rising Hope
Training had ended badly that day. Tyson had decided that he was fed up with Kai, and a fight had ensued, Kai fighting back with his calm replies, while Tyson preferred to yell and scream.
Eventually Tyson had stormed out, and the always over dramatic Amille had followed after him.
Training had then bee pushed further than before, Tyson's words grating on his nerves, more than he would ever acknowledge.
To do so would be to admit that what Tyson had said had struck something in him, to admit that he felt as they did, that he had emotions.
They had left training that night to go to dinner, all resenting one thing or another.
Except for two people, Kai because he refused to acknowledge the emotions existence, and Serena because she never let things bother her, never got mad.
Serena watched Kai silently as he ate.
He was tense now, his knuckles were white with restrained anger, as he tightened his fist around the glass in his hand.
She was afraid that it would shatter, sending shards of glass to tear into his soft skin, and open up streams of crimson blood.
Eventually after a long, breathless moment he put the glass down undamaged, returning to eating.
She looked up in surprise as Callie spoke to her, a hint of worry in her voice.
Apologising quickly Serena turned her attention back to their conversation, her thoughts still wandering every now and then to Kai.
Kai watched the girl stealing glances at him whenever she could, he gripped the fork tightly annoyed, wondering why he couldn't get his thoughts off of her.
She was paying even more attention to him tonight than before, not trying to hide it from him as she would usually do.
A frown of concern creased her forehead, her sapphire eyes crinkling in concern.
He pushed his chair back, leaving the rest of his meal uneaten and moved back to the bedroom he still shared with her.
Predictably she came in moments later, walking softly on the carpeted floor.
"Kai." she said tentatively.
He didn't reply, laying on the bed and looking at the ceiling, ignoring her.
"Don't be mad at them." she said quietly, "You've been training us harder than usual lately, and they both over did it a bit, they were just trying to say that they want some free time."
"So you've come as their spokesman." he replied, a touch of amusement in his cold voice.
"No," she replied, "I came because..." she hesitated.
"Because what?" he replied, turning his head to face her, narrowing his eyes.
"Because I was worried about you." she said hesitantly, "I care about you Kai."
The tide amplified, this time with a renewed force, and he couldn't help but turn and face her.
She was sitting on her bed casually, her eyes anywhere but on him.
He grunted, knowing that if he were to respond he would admit to caring about her as well.
Regaining control of his emotions barely he replied in a terse clipped kind of voice, "You can tell the others that they may have the day off tomorrow, but I will not tolerate any more outbursts like that."
Serena sighed, she knew a dismissal when she heard it, standing she walked from the room, contemplating his reaction to her admission.
She told the others the news, walking from their cries of joy.
Standing on the balcony she let the wind sweep her hair around her face, her clothes rustling around her body with the force of the wind.
She looked out to the view, the figure walking onto the balcony going unnoticed behind her.
"Hey," Callie said sweetly, coming to stand beside her, looking out at the view along with her. "Maybe after the tournament, we should go home for a while, see our families again..."
"Maybe we should." Serena replied, surprising herself and Callie.
"Come back inside when you're ready." Callie said finally, hugging her around the shoulders, "And I'm sorry nothing happened with Kai." she whispered in her ear, hugging her tightly before letting go.
"He'll come around, I'm sure of it." she said at the doorway, "Maybe he just needs a little nudge in the right direction."
Serena smiled at her, and then waited a little while, before leaving to do just that.
She entered the room slowly, he was still laying on the bed, a book in his hands and he was holding it above his face, reading it with some interest.
Turning to look at her he said annoyed, "What do you want?"
She walked to the side of his bed, heart throbbing so loudly that she was surprised he couldn't hear it.
Ever so slowly she bent and touched her lips to his, a jolt of electricity running through her as their lips touched.
He slowly moved his hands, one moving to the back of her head, and the other to her waist, pulling her closer.
Their lips caressed each other gently, slowly.
And then as abruptly as he had moved in he pulled away leaving a startled Serena as he exited the room.

AD: Am I evil?
Heero: Yes.
Kai: How could you make me kiss her!
AD: Oh shut up, I was asking them, not you! You know, sending you to those reviewers might not be such a bad idea!
AD: Oh by the way, you know there's a nice little purple button down the bottom saying submit review, you know you want to push it, go ahead...
Raven: *smirks* like that's going to work.
AD: *glares at him* Ok, who wanted an annoying Raven for housework?!?
Raven: *glares* you wouldn't dare.
AD: *narrows eyes* Try me.
Purra: I know, disobedient muses are just sooo annoying, but why is it that the disobedient ones are always the best?
